I imagine him sitting at his laptop in full Bradford city kit typing away on his laptop before emailing his copy off to the editor. Kisses the badge once the email’s sent then goes downstairs for his tea.

As per the field of play as I understand the rfl are sort ing it out as they are the leaseholders of the field

One minor gripe, the game clock has been removed from the scorboard. Can we have it back please!

Yes I kept looking for the clock, I had to use my watch instead !!!

Yes I kept looking at mine too. Pity I forgot to check it when they started playing and to stop it when the injuries occurred. Let's get the clock back please.....Pretty please?

Could do with some of those banners for the bottom of the Coral stand!

Touchdown no longer looks like it’s falling down.

They’ve also increased the number of steps you have to climb when leaving .......... or I’ve just got a lot more unfit since 2019

Great comment on the touchdown bar! Looked great from the outside! Didn’t go in but I assume it’s been done up on the inside too.

Wouldn’t know about the stairs! I was too d to remember haha!

The previous fix, iirc, was pallets with grass on top. Hopefully it’ll be a bit more of a techy solution this time…

Fake grass, perhaps?

Hopefully some decent surface and not something from Stephen H Smith's that would require skin grafts to anyone that's dived in at the corner.

Some nice words from the local York reporter about Odsal:



What did our local reporter have to say about it I wonder....?

What’s the issue with putting stands up at Horsfall?

Council refuse to license ground for more than 5000. Which would only be a problem for a couple of games a year at Championship level but would effectively mean we would need to relocate again if we got promoted.

Also a problem if we draw a SL team in the cup - e.g. Leeds.

Short term thinking of the highest degree.

The pitch at odsal will (supposedly) be back up to specification width by the next home game after Newcastle so how much longer term thinking is needed?

we've got dispensation to use Odsal for Newcastle game. Why on earth would we spend money putting temp stands at Horsfall for a game we can play at Odsal?. Plus we'd miss entertainment value of watching everyone whine about the pitch size

.

Fair point well made

Does anyone know who at Newcastle has put their hand up to look a bit of a dick as they measure the pitch?

Exactly!

Why on earth would we go to horsfall with the cost of temp stands just for 2 games?

Are you Potava’s husband is that why you’re so angry with me?

I didn’t know she was married, sure she had a wedding ring but you think these foreign marriages aren’t legal.

Narrow pitch to remain for the remainder of the season. Confirmed by Gledhill on Twitter.

Embarrassing. For both us and the RFL.

I bloody knew it. Tinpot.

The RFL are a very reliable organisation. You always know where you are with them because THEY ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN.
